CALL FOR ENTRIES International BUT Film Festival 2010
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
This year the BUT Film Festival will take place between September 8th and September 12th in Breda. BUT Film Festival differs from other film festivals by screening movies that deviates from main stream cinema on the level of taste, form and content. BUT stands for B-movies, Underground and Trash. B-movies are made with a small budget without the supervision of a large production company. Underground movies are films that search the boundaries of the admissibility and often contain explicit scenes. Trash movies are over the top for the content as well for the images.
Every year there is a program made up with a variety of films for the hard core fans of experimental, bizarre and absurd movies. Besides films, performances and art is a vast part of the festival.
